The Expedition 14 crew members continued work on several experiments
that included monitoring sleep/wake patterns and light exposure and
collecting blood and urine samples for later evaluation. Another
experiment measures details about cosmic radiation and its interactions
with astronauts’ central nervous systems.
The crew also made preparations for Thursday’s and Friday’s installation
of network cabling, clearing out stowage gear to provide the necessary
access. The crew members also stowed trash and discarded equipment in
the ISS Progress 23 cargo ship which is scheduled to undock from the
station and burn on re-entry on March 27.
